hello,
are these pads any good![]()
click here (ebay)
They will do if you are on a tight budget. I am on a tight budget but personally I wouldn't buy them
I am getting pads soon but I will be spending $100 on a set of Bendix Advance front and rears.
id pay the extra if its not to much out of ur budget and go bendix pads all the way i just put em on my car , and now i wouldnt use any other brake pads again.
cheers

What ever you do, DON'T get Bendix Ultimates, they create a lot of dust!. Thats the mistake i took.

so you are saying they are crapness?
my pads are at about 75% left mark so they still have heaps of life, but i was just thinking that while i have some funds on my paypal account i would buy somethin for my car
and thought don't need oil, stereo, wheels and stuff like that so i thought breakpads. hhhmm wonder what my rotors are like?
Yep, the Ultimates are the worst pads out there. Not much braking, alot of dust.

you are much better off wrenching another $30 our of your wallet to get pads that mean you wont die when u brake to miss that tree
if you dont wanna spend much, the amount spent on those pads on ebay, 26 plus say 11 postage, $37 all up, walk into autobarn and ask for ferodo gp's, $40 a pair in traralgon, 200ks form melb, so they should be less in melb, and theyre a decent pad for the price.
but if you wan togod stopping power that lasts, yeh, go bendix as the other guys have said.
Walk into Autobarn, buy a set of Bendix Advance pads at 50 bucks, walk out and install them in 10 minutes. That means you are very:HAPPY!
I have used the bendix ultimates, they need to get hot before they work any good. I was speaking to a guy and he recokns that ebc green stuff is better cause they work good hot and don't take so long to warm up but then they are like $100 bucks a pair i'm considering trying em.
I got bendix ultimates and i agree, lots of dust. probably great for heavy use but lots of cleaning. i won't get them again
i run these in my vs so far i havnt had a problem with them and their quiet
